Maximum Nation limit

I think that in the near future their should be a limit on a number of nations one person could control - i.e. 3. Otherwise people could create nations all the time and spam someone then leave it to be deleted without anyone knowing it was them. This could reduce the amount of spamming being sent. What do you think?

no, that rule existed long ago, there's no need for it now.

The ip addresses are logged, so the moderators can tell if it is the same person spamming with several nations.

And you can't" quickly delete" a nation .. unles you consider a month quick. The only way for a player to delete a nation is to let it die from time out.

There was no rule limiting the number of nations one could have; there used to be a line in the fact that suggested people to limit themselves to no more than 4 nations, though.

You should spend some time in the Pacific, you'd change your view quickly. There's some who proudly claim 150 puppet nations they rotate in and out. Moderation would have to assign one mod there alone to keep track of the mess.

If one constantly spams with imflamitory messages, a Game Moderater can delete that person instantly. The mod just needs to notice that person. There are way too few mods.

You could purposely spam one of your other nations' telegram boxes and report it. That would delete them fairly quickly. Not that I speak from experience...*mock innocence*

No. My brother has a countless number of nations, were as I only have the one, if they were to delete some of them, they might take mine down with the ones being purged. I'm in the process of changing the passwords on some of my brothers nations so that they will die of inactivity, he actually has one in the UN I believe, and my nation is in the UN, so that is kinda like multi-ing on accident.

Oh please, not a low limit. I'm founder in 8 regions. Then I have a main nation I use to post here, and a UN nation to run around. That's 10 nations needed just for that! Then there's ambassador nations, spies, scouts, etc...

i think there is just a few less then there should be i would have one or two more or appoint people to put issues through so they get processed easily i have had most have died now i create nations randomly and then forget about them example Minkies Ice Screams a bit random but i eastimate about 100 puppets i've had and about 5 active ones and about 4 inactive ones and the rest havepassed away...

I have more than 15. But I don't spam with them. Fact is, I only use a couple for Rp purposes. The rest, are for experimenting with internal development so they have never posted.

Let's see....

Goobergunchia: main nation, UN Delegate, RP, posting, etc., etc.,
Terminated California: RR puppet, monitoring purposes, etc.
-The Prophet-: Haven puppet, used for communication with UNAOTO members
[classified]: [classified] region puppet for intel purposes
[classified]: evil nation for intel purposes
[classified]: nation that I'm starting a region with for experimentation purposes
9 other nations that are sitting around various regions waiting for use

I was under the impression that quickly deleting a spam nation was so that the mods can't track it. Wouldn't reporting it to the mods be a little counter-productive?

Besdies, after enough times they would probably be IP banned instead of deleted.

No no, there isn't a limit. That's the point.
